PREFACE. 


This 1s the finest collection of Americana ever offered for 
sale im this country or Europe. Nearly all the books in the 
magnificent series of early works relating to this country are 
scarce, and many of them are excessively rare. 


The Americana in the famous Library at Britwell Court, 
Burnham, Bucks, England, the property of S. R. Christie- 
Miller, Esq., was catalogued for sale by auction in London 
last August, but just before the date set for the sale the col- 
lection was bought en bloc and brought to New York, where 
it was sold to Mr. Henry E. Huntington. 

Mr. Huntington removed about fifty books to strengthen his 
own unrivalled collection, added about the same number of 
great rarities that had formerly been in the Barlow, Ives 
Heber, Crane, Church, and Chew Libraries, and then con- 
signed the books for sale, thus affording other collectors an 
opportunity to acquire many books so scarce that they rarely 
come on the market. 

When nearly every book among the three hundred is very 
important and every collector will give the most careful at- 
tention to every page of the Catalogue it is unnecessary to 
go deeply into details in a preface, but a very brief reference 
may be permitted to some of the greatest rarities, like: 

Las Casas’s Spanish Colonie, 1583; Peckham’s True Reporte, 
1583; Hakluyt’s Navigations, 1589; Savile’s Libell of Span- 
ish Lies, 1596; Nicholl’s Houre Glass, 1607, one of six copies 
known ; Champlain’s Voyages et Descouvertures, with the date 
1619 on the engraved title; Eburne’s Plaine Path-way, 1624; 
Gordon’s Encouragements, 1625; the Humble Request, being 
the Farewell Address of Governor Winthrop, 1630; Cham- 
plain’s Voyages, 1632 ; Thomas Morton’s New English Canaan, 


1637 ; Bullock’s Virginia, uncut, 1649; Langford’s Refutation, 
1655, one of four known copies; Nathaniel Morton’s New HEng- 
land’s Memorial, 1669, the first historical book printed in 
America; Hubbard’s Narrative, 1677, with the original map 
of New England; and the writings of Captain John Smith, in- 
cluding his True Relation, 1608, his Description of New Eng- 
land, 1616, two copies of the First Edition of his Virginia, 
1624, his Advertisements for the Unexperienced Planters, 
1631, and his Perfect Description of Virginia, 1649, of which 
no copy has been sold in many years. | 

Attention should also be called to the magnificent set of 
De Bry’s Voyages, embracing his Voyages to America, 13 
parts in Latin and 14 in German, 1590-1634, and his Voyages 
to the Hast Indies, 12 parts in Latin and 13 parts in German, 
1597-1628, of which each part will be sold separately so that 
American collectors may complete their sets. | | 

Every book in this Catalogue, except where otherwise noted, 
is from the Christie-Miller Collection.

FIRST SESSION 
Wednesday Evening, January 24, 1917, at 8:15 o'clock 
LOTS 1-153 


NOTE—Every book in this Catalogue, except where other- 
wise noted, is from the famous Christie-Miller Collection which 
was bought en bloc after it had been catalogued in London for 
sale by auction. 


1. [ABBOT (ARCHBISHOP GEORGE).] A Briefe De- 
scription of the Whole World, wherein is particylarly de- 
seribed all the Monarchies and Kingdoms of the same, with 
their Academies. Newly augmented and enlarged with their 
severall Titles and Scituations thereto adjoyning. The sixt 
(sic) edition. Small 4to, full crushed crimson levant morocco, 
gilt edges, with the Miller arms on covers, by Pratt. 

Lond.: Printed for John Marriot, 1624 


A very fine, clean copy, with an original blank leaf for Ai. 
47 pages relate to America. 


2. ACOSTA (JOSEPH). The Naturall and Morall His- 
torie of the East and West Indies. Intreating of the re- 
markeable things of Heaven, of the Elements, Mettalls, Plants

the Manners, Ceremonies, Lawes, Governments, and Warres 
of the Indians. Written in Spanish by Joseph Acosta, and 
translated into English by E. G. 4to, original limp vellum. 

Lond.: Printed by Val. Sims for Edward Blount and 
William Aspley, 1604. 


THE VERY RARE FirST ENGLISH EDITION, IN SPLENDID CON- 
DITION. 
A most important work, the best evidence of its merits being 


that it has been translated into almost every language in Eu- 
rope. Sabin enumerates 22 editions. The work is replete with 
details of the Aborigines, before their peculiar customs had 
become modified by contact with the whites. Although Acosta 
was one of the earliest, yet he was one of the most curious and 
accurate observers of the customs and peculiarities of the Abo- 
rigines who have attempted to describe them. In perfect and 
crisp condition, a few insignificant wormings on some margins 
being the only defects. 


3. ACUNA (C. D’). Voyages and Discoveries in South- 
America. The First up the River of Amazons. By Christopher 
D’Acugna. The Second up the River of Plata. By Mons. 
Acarete. The Third from Cayenne into Guina. By M. Grillet 
and Bechamel. Done into English from the Originals. 2 fine 
folding maps. 8vo, contemporary calf, back gilt tooled (one 
margin torn). Lond.: Printed for 8. Buckley, 1698

the first Europeans to traverse those regions and to visit the

scription of New-England; together with a Discourse of 
Plantation, and Collonies: also, a Relation of the Nature of 
the Climate, and how it agrees with our owne Country Eng-

Francia, Canada, and Parts of the West-Indies. Wath fold- 
ing map. Small 4to, full crimson crushed levant morocco, 
gilt line border, gilt back, gilt inside borders, gilt edges, by 

F.. Bedford (slight repairs to title). 
Lond.: Printed for Nathaniel Bvtter, 1630 


EXCEEDINGLY RARE. Contains the original folding map in 
fine condition. It is a re-issue of the unsold sheets of Sir Wm. 
Alexander’s ‘‘An Encouragement to Colonies’’ which appeared 
in 1625. The work is a record of the Harl of Stirling’s unsuc- 
cessful attempt to found a Scotch colony in Nova Scotia, to 
which he gave its name. The map displays the country from 
Cape Cod to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and containes the names 
of the patentees among whom the Country was originally di- 
vided. 

The E. D. Church copy with the bookplate.

First EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR, with 
the inscription ‘‘#a dono Author, 29 Junii, 1708’’ on title, and 
name of W. Musgrave written on verso of title. The margin 
of p. 9 has had some ink marks partially eradicated, and on 
the last page the word ‘‘begin’’ has been corrected by the 
author, to ‘‘assist in.’’ In the printing, sig.B has been entirely 
omitted, agreeing in this respect with the Church collation. 
The present copy has the rare half-title. 

Gov. Archdale came to America in 1685 and made himself 
highly popular with the earlier settlers. He introduced the 
cultivation of rice, and under his administration the colony was 
very prosperous.

and persons, and florishing prosperity to you in your affaires.’’ 

Robert Johnson was the author of ‘‘Nova Britannia’’ and 
‘‘The New Life of Virginia.’’ 

THE WORK IS OF EXCESSIVE RARITY, the barest title being 
noted by bibliographers, and is probably by Johannem Baers, 
who wrote ‘‘Olinda, ghelegen int Landt van Brazil,’’ ete., 
Amsterdam, 1630, relating to the taking of Pernambuco by the 
Dutch. 

Inlaid throughout, and catchwords and head-lines cut into 
(including date on title), the text however being perfect, except

‘ Lond.: Printed by W. Stansby, for W. Welby, 1613 


THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First Epition. The Epistle dedi- 
cation is signed W. C. (probably W. Castell). This is the 
curious and interesting voyage which Malone considered as 
having suggested to Shakespeare his different allusions to these 
Islands as the stillvexed Bermoothes, in ‘‘The Tempest.’’ 
Sabin gives the collation of the book as 43 pp. and states that 
20 pp. of the text are in BLAcKk LerTer. The present copy has 
52 pp. (last page blank) and 39 pages in BuAcK LETTER. In 
his dedication to the Reader, the author says: ‘‘Good Reader, 
this is the first Booke published to the world touching Sommer 
Tlands: but who shall live to see the last?’’ 

The top margin of E4 is defective, affecting the first line of 
text, and margin of title and a few other small sections very 
skilfully mended.

26. CASTELL (WILLIAM). A Short Discoverie of the 
Coasts and Continent of America, From the Equinoctiall 
Northward, and of the adjacent Isles....... Together with 
Sir Benjamin Rudyers Speech in Parliament, 21 Jan. con- 
eerning America. Small 4to, boards, morocco back. 

Lond.: Printed in the yeer 1644 
EXCEEDINGLY RaArE. The complete work, covering both 
Books. Prefixed to the work is the Author’s Petition to Parlia- 
ment for the propagation of the Gospel in America, which 
Stevens says ‘‘should find a place in every collection of the so- 
called ‘Eliot Tracts’ for herein is contained the embryo idea 
or suggestion that Parliament, should recognize the benefits 
to be derived by the Colonies from cultivating the friendship 
of the Indians,’’ ete. There is no doubt that this Petition 
caused widespread interest in the welfare of the Plantations. 
The sig. mark B3 has been cut into very slightly, which is 
the only defect in this important work. An original front 
wrapper used on the pamphlet by a former owner has been 
preserved, on which has been written the title of the book and 
the date of publication.

A VERY FINE CRISP COPY OF THE EXTREMELY RARE First EDI- 
TION, with the folding and full-page plates in brilliant state, 
and the TWO BLANK LEAVES at the end (v. 7 and 8). 

A stain in the centre of leaves 96 and 98 is the only defect. 
The work is sometimes found with the date 1619 on the printed 
title, which is the only difference between the two issues. 


28. CHAMPLAIN (SAMUEL DE). Les Voyages de la

A HANDSOME COPY OF THE ONLY COMPLETE EDITION OF CHAM- 
PLAIN, containing the reprinted (corrected) leaves D2 and 3, 
cancelled because of the statements reflecting on Cardinal 
Richelieu. P. 27 ends with the words ‘‘telles descouvertes,’’ 
and p. 29 with the words ‘‘pour nourrir.’’ 

This is the last of Champlain’s works, printed shortly before 


13 


his last voyage to Canada (where he died in 1635), and it is 
perhaps the most important, as it contains a review of all pre- 
ceding French Expeditions to the New World, interwoven with 
Champlain’s account of his own voyages to Canada, with a 
history of that country. IT GIVES THE FIRST ACCURATE AC- 
COUNT OF THE LIFE, HABITS AND WARFARE OF THE INDIANS IN 
WHAT IS NOW THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
VERY RARE.

EXCEEDINGLY RARE AND INTERESTING, BEING THE First Ep1- 
TION OF THE First PRINTED COLLECTION OF NEW ENGLAND 
Laws. These ‘‘Laws’’ were never ‘‘established,’’ or in force 
in New England. The code was drawn up by Mr. Cotton, for 
Massachusetts, and presented to the General Court, but was 
not adopted. The author’s name is supplied in the Second 
Edition by W. Aspinwall, 1655. In practically every copy on 
record the head lines and marginal notes have been trimmed 
close, as in this copy. It is otherwise in good condition.

the author, and published at Marburg in 1557. The Latin 
translation here given is the work of Adam Loncier. The 
second part is an account of a voyage to Brazil in 1556-1558

1578. :

This part contains the beginning of Girolamo Benzoni’s 
‘‘ Historia del Mondo Nuovo.’’ The remainder was published 
in the Parts V. and VI. The second engraved title is slightly 
extended on one margin. On plate 1, the initial H has dropped 
down, breaking the type of the first word of line 6. Although 
the first five lines of this plate measure only 5 5/16 inches, yet 
like all the plates of the First Issue it is without number. In

Brazil and Paraguay in 1535-1553. He is one of the first who

wrote about that part of America. Two Latin versions of this 
narrative were printed the same year, the present one, which 
was by Gotard Artus, and the other by Hulsius (Part IV., 
First Edition). The title to this Part VII is within the en- 
graved border first used for Part III, and the plate on page 7 
is the same as that on page 1 of Part III. A small map of 
the ‘‘ Mare del Nort’’ as found in Part VIII, 354 x5% inches, 
has been laid down on the blank leaf at the end. This blank 
leaf (H4) is genuine. The small mark like ‘‘17’’ on the 
plinth of the left-hand pier in the title-page is discernible in 
this copy. :

Latin. AmeERiIcA. Part VIII. First Epirion. First Issue. 
This Part contains relations of six different voyages; three by 
Drake, one by Candish or Cavendish, and two by Sir Walter 
Raleigh. Drake’s First Voyage took place in 1577-80. No 
description of it had previously been published. In the First 
Issue of this edition signature-mark AA2 is wrongly printed A2. 
In the present copy there is not the small copper-plate ‘*mappa 
mundi’’ at the foot of page 78 of the first pagination, nor is 
the copper-plate map of the ‘‘Mare del Nort,’’ on page 3 of 
the second pagination. Plates XIII and XIJII were trans- 
posed in printing, but the correct plates have been cut out and 
laid down in their proper places. Page 1 has been extended 
on lower outer corner and the map has been mounted on a 

_ guard and backed with linen. On the title-page is a small 
engraved map of the two hemispheres.

Nort’’ sometimes found on p. 3 of the second pagination of 
the First Edition. This issue has the large folding map of 
Guiana (which has been backed with linen, and mounted on a 
guard), and 25 plates, some of which are reproduced in the 
text from the First Edition. Five of the plates are new, and 
one of these (on p. 57), Crawford states, caused him much 
trouble to find. The Adam and Eve plate, with the sig. ‘‘Io. 
Theodore de Bry fe,’’ occupies p. 58, which page is sometimes 
found blank. The blank leaf N6 is genuine. 

On pages 129-150 (160) in this edition is a narrative not to 
be found in the First. This is an account of an expedition 
made by the Dutch in 1599 under Pieter van der Does against 
the Spaniards, particularly at the Canaries.

Latin. AMERICA. Part 1X. First Epirion. This Part con- 
tains Acosta’s ‘‘ Historia natural y moral de las Indias,’’ pub- 
lished in Seville in 1590. Then follows the Voyage of Sebald 
de Weert made in a vessel which was part of the fleet sent to 
the Moluccas by way of the Straits of Magellan in June, 1598; 
this is followed by the Additamentum, which contains a narra- 
tion of the voyage of Olivier van Noort. 

The second series of plates (I-XIV) are numbered on the 
coppers in Arabic figures, 1-13. There are also references to 
the numbers of the folios of the German edition, which was 
published before the Latin. On some of them is also the mark 
of the engraver (K. G. 1602). 

A hole in the margin of leaf Y2 has been repaired, and ff6 
has a slight tear on the margin. The blank leaf ddd4 is want- 
ing, but the blank leaf Yy6 is present and genuine.

edition, Acosta’s ‘‘ Historia natural y moral de las Indias’’ is 
not reprinted, nor are the plates reproduced. It contains only 
two parts: the voyages of De Weert and De Noort. Pages 
27-30 and 33-38 are supplied from a slightly narrower copy, 
At E4 is a separate title. ‘‘Historiae Antipodum . . . Liber

is wanting.

Latin. AMERICA. Part X. ONuy Epirion. First Issue. 
This Part, published seventeen years after Part IX, is divided 
into three sections; the first containing the two letters of 
Americus Vespuccius giving an account of his Voyages to 
America in 1497 and 1499; next follows a translation of 
Hamor’s ‘‘ Virginia’’; followed by the relation of a voyage 
made to New England by Captain John Smith. A copy of the 
title-page of the Second Issue has been inserted, showing a 
variation in the vignette, otherwise the same as given above. 
In the present copy there is no blank leaf between plates X 
and XI forming sig. ¢4.

by William Cornelisz Schouten, under the direction of Jacob 
le Maire, made in the years 1615-1617, an account of which 
was first published at Amsterdam in 1618. A Latin edition 
appeared at the same place in 1619. The present translation 
differs so materially from it that it is thought to be from an 
older version. The second voyage is that made by Joris van 
Spilbergen, in 1614-18. The three blank leaves F6, D6 and d6 
are present and genuine. The engraved vignette on the first 
title-page is the same as the first plate, and that on the title 
to the Appendix is the same as was used on the title to the 
Second issue of Part X.

toria’’ which was published in Part IX. At folio 130 a plate 
representing a triumphal entry has been pasted over a plate 
similar to that on folio 133 verso. In the present copy, the 
Herrara maps are on paper of the same size and quality as the 
rest of the volume. The double-page map, which has been 
mounted on a guard and backed with linen, is the same 
as that used in Part VI. The last leaf Cc8 is blank and 
genuine. The upper margin of folio 33 has been restored.

Part. Six of the maps and plates are mounted on guards, and 
the folds have been strengthened with silk; the map of the 
Straits of Magellan ‘‘Fretum Magellannicum’’ has been ex- 
tended on the inner margin. The ‘‘ Bibliotheca Grenvilliana’’ 
says: ‘‘ These two last parts (XII. and XIII.) are excessively 
rare, and generally found in very bad condition and without

has been inserted in the map, a small portion thereby being in 
facsimile. There are slight tears in a number of the edges. 
The blank leaf O6 has been taken from the end and inserted 
as f6. This copy lacks the German imprint (printed on a slip 
and pasted over the Latin imprint), although the appearance 
would indicate that it may have once been there. The recto of

were issued with this edition. Following the title is a leaf, 
Aij (unnumbered) with the caption ‘‘Dieterich von Bry

is seldom found. 

Through some delay the plates which should have appeared

contains the text which was subsequently translated into Latin 
and used as sections 8-15 (pp. 79-149) of the Latin Edition of 
part XIII. This copy corresponds with the Church copy, ex- 
cepting that the Map of ‘‘Guiana’’ is not included. It was 
not in the Huth copy, and is not mentioned by Sabin or Brunet 
as belonging to this issue. Collation: Letterpress title as

view described by Mr. Lenox was not in the Huth copy. At 
p- 69 the folding plate ‘‘Olinda de Pernambuco.’’ A second 
(imperfect) copy of the same plate is loosely inserted. Three 
of the maps are mounted on guards. The maps contained in 
this part are the same as in the Latin Edition of part XIII, of 
which the Bibliotheca Grenvilliana says: ‘‘The two last parts 
(XII and XIII) are excessively rare and generally found in 
wery bad condition and without the maps.’’ The above copy 

is in fine state, with the maps in brilliant impressions.

GERMAN. InprEs. Part IV. Second Edition. Collation by 
signatures identically the same as that of the First edition, 
except that Ciii (repeated) is wrongly marked Cii, and that 
Roman numerals are used with the letters indicating the sig-

tinguished from those of the First by each leaf having a 
catchword at the foot, while there are no catehwords in the 
First edition. The last plate has twelve lines of letterpress; 
in the first it has fourteen. Page 62 is wrongly printed 26;

Leydae: Apud Fr. Raphelengium, 1588 


LARGE COPY OF THE VERY RARE First LATIN EDITION, with a 
vignette on title composed of type ornaments instead of a 
ship, which probably indicates the earliest issue. This is an 
original account in Latin of Drake’s expedition from 1585 to 
1586, during which he captured and plundered Cartagena and 
other towns, and burned forts San Antonio and St. Augustine. 
He then visited Roanoke Island, the site of Raleigh’s Colony in 
Virginia, and carried survivors back to England.

RARE LEAF OF ERRATA. 

In the Grenville catalogue the impression of 1628 was called

most desirable, SOTHEBY EVEN SUGGESTING THE POSSIBILITY OF

THE RaRE First Epition. This work was written by Sir 
Francis Drake, Baronet, a nephew of the Admiral. The nar- 
rative covers the period from November 15, 1577, when Drake 
sailed from Plymouth, until September 26, 1580, when he ar- 
rived at the same place on his return. 

At the front of the book three leaves of writing paper have 
been inserted, on which a former owner has transcribed an 
extract from Campbell’s ‘‘Lives of the Admiral.’’ There is 
some old writing on the fly-leaves at the end, and some leaves 
are stained, but the volume is withal a very good copy.

in 16538 and the title extended so as to inelude the other three. 

The collection follows: A-M in fours, including the por- 
trait; A2-0 in fours, with title on A2; A-H2 in fours. There 
is a small hole in the ornament on A3, slightly affecting a

either by English or American bibliographers. Only one copy 
is recorded in American sale catalogues, and that is the Barlow

British Museum collection. Sabin records the wrong date and 
probably got this title from Lowndes.’ This copy contains the 
original first and last blanks.

Clements Markham to be found only in a few copies. This is 
the Church copy, with bookplate, and contains the 4 leaves 
sometimes described as having been cancelled. It has also 
many errors in pagination, indicating that it is one of the first 
copies issued. This account of the author’s exploration of the 
western part of Hudson Bay contains information upon the 
tides, ice, northern lights, etc., of great value and interest.

First Epirion. This little book is of excessive rarity, no 
copy being contained in the Hoe, Huth, or any Americana 
collection dispersed within recent times. There are two issues, 
differing slightly in signatures: the present one has A to C 
in eights, which is held to indicate the second issue. The title 
and all the text of this copy is in beautiful, crisp condition, 
with wide margins. It measures 5 9/16 by 35% inches, being 
considerably larger than the Church copy. 

This account of Frobisher’s second voyage was published 
before that of Captain Beste, and differs somewhat from that, 
although both writers accompanied the famous admiral.

and here gives the first account of them. 

THE PRESENT COPY CONTAINS THE DUPLICATED PASSAGE IN 
THE DEDICATION, which was omitted in the second issue, and a 
comparison of this copy with the Lenox Library variations 
discloses still further proof of the precedence of this copy 
over the others.

THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. In this 
work is a valuable chronological list of all the discoveries, 
ancient and modern, mada down to the year 1555. The 
original Portuguese version was printed in Lisbon in 1563, 
but so rare was it even in Hakluyt’s time, he says in his 
preface: ‘‘I have made much inquirie, and sent to Lisbon, 
where it seemeth it was printed, yet to this day I could never 
obtaine the originall copie, whereby I might reforme the 
manifold errours of the translator.’’

the Life, Printed by T. F. for Nath. Brook, 1659.’’ These 
parts were printed and are numbered separately, but an index 
at the end embraces all the four. The 1658 part of ‘‘ America 
Painted to the Life’’ is Johnson’s ‘‘ History of New Eng- 
land, 1654,’’ with a new title-page and preface, but with the 
running title ‘‘Wonder Working Providence,’’ ete. It was 
inserted by the publisher and afterwards disclaimed by Gorges. 

. The entire work contains a mass of interesting and important 
New England history, especially of the district of Maine, which 
was originally granted to the author’s grandfather, who wrote 
the second part of the book, ‘‘A Briefe Narration.’’? Large 
copy, size 744 by 5% inches.

A VERY LARGE COPY OF THIS EXCESSIVELY RARE WORK, meas- 
uring 7144 x5% inches, leaf of dedication and some margins 
containing contemporary writing. 

This seems to be the third piece relating to the Jamestown 
Colony, having been preceded by ‘‘Smith’s True Relation,’’ 
published in 1608, and ‘‘ Nova Britannia,’’ published in Feb- 
ruary, 1609. This Tract was probably issued in May, as the 
Dedication is dated ‘‘From the Mine House at the Northend 
of 8. Sithes Lane, London, April 28, Anno 1609.’’ 

He regrets that he is not able to adventure in the enter- 
prise, ‘‘sorrowing with my selfe that I am not able neither in 
person nor purse to be a partaker in the business.’’

Madrid: Por Manuel Fernandez, Ano 1741 


First EpiTion. Very fine copy, in firm old binding. Father 
Gumilla was long considered a highly imaginative traveller, 
but later discoveries proved him to have been a very trust- 
worthy witness. 


155. HAKLUYT (RICHARD). Divers Voyages touching 
the discouerie of America, and the [lands adiacent unto the 
same, made first of all by our Englishmen, and afterwards 
by the Frenchmen and Britons: and certaine notes of aduer- 
tisements for obseruations, necessarie for such as shall heere- 
after make the like attempt. Black Letter. Small 4to, full 
crushed blue morocco, gilt back and borders, inside dentelles, 
eilt edges, with the Miller arms and monogram (the two 
maps are lacking). 

Imprinted at London for Thomas Woodecocke, 1582 


. THE EXTREMELY RARE First HpItTion of the author’s first 
publication and unusually complete, except for the maps, 
agreeing with the collation of the Grenville copy given in 
Lowndes, and, in addition, containing the blank leaf after 
signature G 38, which was absent in the Grenville copy, and 
unknown to Lowndes. It also contains the 4 leaves forming 
the second signature A (which are nearly always missing, and 
which in the Grenville copy are placed at the end), contain- 
ing: ‘‘A latine copie of the letters patentes of King Henrie 
the seventh, graunted unto John Gabote and his three sonnes,’’ 
etc.; ‘‘The same letters patents in english,’’ and ‘‘A note of 
Sebatian Gabotes voyage of discouerie taken out of an old 
chronicle written by Robert Fabian,’’ ete. 

The former of these, ‘‘The Letters Patent of Henry XII.’’ 
is probably the MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT IN THE COLLECTION, 
and appears here for the FIRST TIME. Next in importance is 
the relation of Verrazano describing his voyages along the 
coast of North America; in which he was the first WHO ENTERED 
THE HARBOR NOW KNOWN AS NEw YORK, discovered Block 
Island, and entered Narragansett Bay, where he remained four- 
teen days. 

THE PRESENT COPY IS AN EXCEEDINGLY TALL ONE, measuring 
734x5 inches. The title has been restored on the inner 
margin, and the corners of several leaves have been mended. 

But very few copies of this most uncommon book are com- 
plete with the original maps, one being in Church, one in the 
British Museum, and the Grenville copy.

156. HAKLUYT (RICHARD). The Principall Naviga- 
tions, Voiages and Discoveries of the English nation, made 
by Sea or ouer Land, to the most remote and farthest distant 
Quarters of the earth at any time within the compasse of 
these 1500 yeeres: Deuided into three seuerall parts, accord- 
ing to the positions of the Regions whereunto they were 
directed. Folding map. Folio, full green straight-grain mo- 
rocco, gilt, monogram on the back and the Miller arms on the 
sides, gilt edges, by F. Bedford (a small tear in the map 
skilfully repaired). 

Imprinted at London by George Bishop and Ralph New- 
berie, Deputies to Christopher Barker, 1589. 

FINE LARGE COPY OF THE RARE ORIGINAL EDITION of 
Hakluyt’s Collection of Voyages. With.a fine impression of 
the rare ‘‘Typvs Orbis Terrarvm’’ map, measuring 15% x 20 
inches. The leaves measure 1154 x 7% inches. 

This copy contains ‘‘A briefe discourse of the voyage of Sir 
Ierome Bowes knight, her Maiesties ambassador to the Em- 
perour of Muscouia, in the yeere 1582: and printed this second 
time,’’ etc., pp. 491-501; also ‘‘ Drake’s Voyage’’ in the proper 
place between pp. 643 and 644. It has the last blank, X4 at 
the end of Part I, and the last blank or fly-leaf, Ffff. 4, which 
are seldom found. The ‘‘ Drake Voyage’’ here mentioned is of 
great importance as is indicated by the author himself in his 
address to the reader, in which he notices with regret his being 
compelled to comply with the request of certain friends, in 
the suppression of it. He, however, appears to have printed 
a few copies privately, and they were inserted. Contains the 
several peculiarities in pagination noticed in most copies of 
this Edition. 

Sabin says: ‘‘It is scarcely necessary to suggest that the 
addition of the original version of Bowes’ and Drake’s Voy- 
ages adds greatly to the value of any copy of the work in 
which they happen to be.’’ 

This First Edition of Hakluyt’s Voyages contains an inval- 
uable treasure of nautical information which has affixed to 
his name a brilliancy of reputation which time can never efface 
or obscure.

The Second Edition, EQUALLY RARE WITH THE First. Not 
in the Huth Collection. This edition._contains 13 pages more 
matter than in the original edition. Aside from two very 
slight restorations of margins, one on title and the other on 
A 3, THIS COPY MAY BE CONSIDERED AS NEARLY IN ITS PRISTINE 
STATE AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO PROCURE ONE. IT MEASURES 8x6 
INCHES, AND IS UNCUT. ‘

A SUPERB COPY OF THE VERY RARE First EDITION, measur- 
ing 7144x11%6 inches, and IN THE FINEST POSSIBLE CONDITION. 
The author was a son of the famous Sir John Hawkins, and 
was Admiral of New England in 1619. He narrates some par- 
ticulars relating to the Indians of Florida, the Caribbean 
Islands, and parts of South America, which are interesting as 
data of their history and mode of life two and a half cen- 
turies ago.

Lond.: Printed for M. Bentley, J. Tonson, H. Bon-/wick, 
T. Goodwin, and S. Manship, 1698. 


There are two distinct issues of this FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, 
this, usually considered the first, is the ‘‘Bon’’ issue, so called 


68 


on account of the ending of the first line of the imprint. 
This copy agrees in pagination and arrangement with the 
Church copy, but differs in that it lacks the nnimportant 
blank leaf at the end of the first part, and has the Chapter 


number on page 89 of ‘‘The Continuation’’ correctly printed 
XXIII. 


Fine copy. The Niagara plate is known as the earliest view 
of the falls.

Lond.: Printed for M. Bentley, J. Tonson,/H. Bonwick, T. 
Goodwin, and S. Manship, 1698. 

The ‘‘'Tonson’’ issue of the First ENGLISH EpiTiIon. Known 
as such from the ending of the first line of the imprint. The 
plates in the ‘‘Continuation’’ are superior to those in the 
‘‘Bon’’ edition, and all but one have the engraver’s name, 
M. Vander Gucht, these plates are also reversed from those 
of the ‘‘Bon’’ issue. The maps, however, are the same in 
both.

(last original blank leaf wanting). 

Lond.: Printed by T. C. and R. C. for Michael Sparke, 1630 
THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First ISSUE OF THE ORIGINAL 
Epition. Apparently not in Huth or Livingston. Of this 
book three editions were issued the same year, all of which 
are to be found in the Lenox Library. The Narrative covers 
the period from July to September, 1629. The Second Edition 
had some new matter added. Both the Second and Third 
Editions have the author’s name, ‘‘Mr. Higgeson,’’ on the 
title-page.

Lond.: Printed by John Rothwell, 1645 


First EpIrioN, very rare. Fine copy with unusually large 
margins. Although not printed till 1645, it is now generally 
believed that this very early New England Fast Sermon was 
preached on April 14, 1642. 

The E. D. Church copy, with the bookplate. 


166. HUBBARD (WILLIAM). <A Narrative of the 
Troubles with the Indians in New-England, from the first 
plating thereof in the year 1607, to this present year 1677. 
To which is added a Discourse about the Warre with the 
Pequods in the year 1637. Folding map. Small 4to, original 
sheep, in fine state of preservation. 

Boston: Printed by John Foster, in the year 1677 


THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First EDITION, with the errors in 
pagination, only 10 lines of errata on last page, and License 
leaf dated ‘‘ Boston, March 29, 1677.’’ The map of New Eng- 


land is the original Boston ‘‘ White Hills’’ issue, THE FIRST | 


MAP ENGRAVING IN AMERICA, and is a very beautiful, crisp 
specimen. The ‘‘Narrative’’ itself is an unsually -fine, large 


copy, with wide margins, being 7 9/16 by 5 11/16 inches, its . 


only defects being that it lacks the blank leaf N4 and has 
very small pieces torn from 2 blank corners. Of the pre- 
liminary contributions in verse, the first is believed to be by 
John Sherman, the other by Benjamin Tompson, one of the 
earliest native American poets. 

INSERTED WITH THE ‘‘NARRATIVE’’ is the almost equally 
scarce ‘‘ Happiness of a People,’’ by the same author, Boston, 
Printed by John Foster, 1676. This sermon is of great bib- 
liographical interest, being one of the earliest books printed 
in Boston, where the first press was installed that year. Ameri- 
can books prior to 1676 were printed at Cambridge. 

Hubbard was a man distinguished in a period of great 
bigotry for his moderation and liberal-mindedness. In writing 
he far surpassed his contemporaries-and his ‘‘Indian Wars’” 
have always been regarded by historians as authoritative. 
This copy has an inscription in a contemporary hand, ‘‘ Ffor 
the Right Honnorable Sr. Robert Southwell,’’ and a marginal 
note in a like hand relating to Chief Miantonimoh, signed 
‘¢ William Harris of Patuxet.’’

27, 1677. The map has several places marked with a printed 
number, and many of these have been identified with names 
written in ink by a very early hand. On the first (blank) 
page is the contemporary signature, ‘‘ Richard Wiyth, his book, 
cost 6 pound,’’ and below in the same hand is 
‘‘War there is and wars will be

Latin Epitions or Huusius, Parts IV. AND V. (ALL SO PUB- 
LISHED) apparently printed with the object of finding a market 
out of Germany. The Latin editions. were abandoned after 
the issue of these two. The plates for both parts are bound 
in Part IV, and there is only one copy of the map, which 
should appear in duplicate. 
Part IV. contains an account of the voyage of Ulrich 
Schmidel of Straubing to Brazil and the Rio de la Plata, in 


1534-54; Part V. is an abridgement of Sir Walter Raleigh’s 
account of Guiana. 


169. JAMES (THOMAS). The Strange and Dangerous 
Voyage of Captaine Thomas Iames, in his intended Discovery 
of the Northwest Passage into the South Sea. WITH THE VERY 
RARE ORIGINAL FOLDED MAP, having an inset portrait of the 
author. Small 4to, full brown pigskin, gilt back and broad 
side borders, inside dentelles, gilt edges. 

Lond.: Printed by John Legatt for John Partridge, 1633 

THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION, PARTICULARLY SCARCE 

WITH THE ORIGINAL MAP, which is often wanting. In the pres- 

‘ent copy, the title has been renewed on the inner margin; a 

very small repair has been made in the lower margin, and 

. there are two small rust-holes, one on sig 43, and the other on 
page 85. Wants the 2 blank leaves. 

In the Lefferts and the Stevens-Church copies, the final 

‘¢aduise,’’ occupying the last 10 pages, is signed ‘‘X.Z.’’ In 


ive the present copy it bears THE CORRECT NAME OF ITS AUTHOK 


William Watts, thus agreeing with the title ‘‘W. W.’’ 

James, a Bristol man of Welsh origin, started in May, 1631, 
and returned in September, 1632, having met Luke Foxe 
somewhere in Baffin’s Bay. His record is full of hardships and 
perils, and is said to have supplied Coleridge with some of the 
material for his ‘‘ Ancient Mariner.’’ As a good Welshman, 
James named the region south of Hudson’s Bay, New South 


71 


Wales, while Foxe, who was from Hull, called it New York- 
shire. 

The author has been censured for the lack of geographical 
information contained in the book, but the map is assuredly 
free from any such blame, for it contains a singularly correct 
delineation of the high latitudes in which Hudson, Baffin, 
James, and Foxe pursued their search for the Northwest pas- 
sage. 


170. JAMES (THOMAS). The Strange and Dangerous 
Voyage of Captaine Thomas James, in his intended Discouery

THE RARE First EpDITION, clean and crisp, with wide mar- 
gins, fine copy of the scarce folding map, and both of the 
original blank leaves. Size, 744 by 5% inches, being much 
larger than the Church copy. 

The explorations related here were mostly of the south- 
western part of Hudson Bay, where the crew wintered on 
Charlton Island. The ‘‘Aduise’’ called for on the title and 
subscribed in text ‘‘Yours, X.Z.’’ was written by William : 
Watts. “

two next leaves soiled and some leaves short, three head-lines 
cut into, blank leaf A wanting). 

Lond.: Printed for Samuel Macham, 1609 

First EDITION, PRINTED IN BLACK LETTER. ONE OF THE 
RAREST OF THE EARLY HISTORICAL TRACTS RELATING TO VIR- 
GINIA. The Griswold-Ives-Lefferts copy had the date cut into, 
and that such fastidious collectors as they should have been 
compelled to accept a book with that defect is evidence of its 
EXTREME RARITY. 

Accompanying the volume is a portion of another copy (B-d4, 
E2 and E3). Stained and some head-lines cut into. This 
fragment is interesting as it possesses a variation in sig. D4, 
where the matter on the page is treated in three paragraphs, 
while in the volume above described there are only two. 

From Mr. Huntington’s Library.

recto of this leaf).

NEw ENGLAND. 

An exceptionally fine, crisp copy, with the autograph of 
Narcissus Luttrell, 1676, on title. The first two words of the 
title have been underscored, and there is a slight paper defect 
in the margin of B7. The folding plate has a small repair.

foxed). 


Lond.: Printed for Giles Widdows, 1674 


THE EXTREMELY RARE First EpITION, with the leaf of 
License preceding the title having on recto the device of the 
printer; also, the RARE LEAF OF ERRATA (A4). There is a very 
slight tear in the margin of (Al), and two or three of the 
page numbers have been cut into. Pages 216-218 have no page 
numbers, and 219 is numbered 223, thus agreeing with the 
Church collation. 

Josselyn first visited America in 1638-39. He came a second 
time and stayed from 1663 to 1671, when he returned to Eng- 
land and wrote this book. The second portion of the book, 
the ‘‘Chronological Observations,’’ is most interesting, and 
on the title page it was evidently the intention to have inserted 
a date after ‘‘From the year of the world,’’ as a blank space 
appears.

A LARGE AND FINE COPY OF THE RARE FIRST EDITION, with 
the autograph of W. Musgrave on verso of title. .

defended the Quakers against Increase and Cotton Mather, but 
afterwards turned against them and became a Baptist. 


178. KEYMIS (LAWRENCE). A Relation of the Second 
Voyage to Guiana. Performed and written in the yeare 1596. 
By Lawrence Keymis, Gent. Small 4to, full stamped calf 
(name on title, a few leaves slightly stained). 

London: by Thomas Dawson, dwelling at the three Cranes 
in the Vintree, 1596. 


First Epition of this extremely rare and interesting work. 
Dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh, whose arms are on verso of 
title. The author accompanied Raleigh on his first voyage in 
1595, and the latter being unable to go the next year sent 
Keymis to continue the explorations. In a later voyage, which 
resulted from that narrated here, Keymis failed in a task set 
him by Raleigh and, in consequence of his master’s reproaches, 
committed suicide in his cabin. 


179. [KNOX (WILLIAM).] The Controversy between

the Legislative Authority of Parliament, Stated and Con- 
sidered, Ete. 8vo, contemporary sprinkled calf (imprint cut 
from title). | [Boston: Printed by Mein and Fleming, 1769} 


Attributed also to Mr. Whately, M.P., and to John Mein, 
the printer and bookseller. William Knox was Under Secretary 


74 


for American Affairs, and probably was assisted in its prep- 
aration by George Grenville. For publishing this, and other 
pieces inimical to the interests of the Colonies, John Hancock 
is said to have bought up Mein’s debts upon his return to 
England, and by making an unexpected demand upon him for 
their payment, which he could not meet, forced him into bank- 
ruptey and into Fleet prison. 

This Boston edition is very rare; the only records of it are 
in the collections of public libraries and museums.

Larce Paper Copy. This translation of Laet contains 
material not to be found in the original Dutch edition, chiefly 
vocabularies of Indian tribes. Charlevoix says: ‘‘This work 
is full of the most excellent and curious details of the natural 
history and the character, manners, and customs of the Ameri- 
can aborigines.’’

THE EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL EbDITION, of which the 
Church catalogue locates only two other copies. 

The pamphlet was written in answer to Leonard Strong’s 
‘“Babylon’s Fall in Maryland,’’ published the same year. 
Strong was one of the leading Puritans at Providence, and 
his pamphlet was written in a partisan spirit. The present 
work contains:a letter from Gov. Stone’s wife to Lord Balti- 
more, in which she describes the conduct of the Puritans and 
their treatment of her husband. Langford received from Lord 
Baltimore a gift of fifteen hundred acres of land in Maryland 
as a reward for writing this work.

seven hundred or eight hundred in number, perished in the 
space of fifteen months from hunger and the fury of the 
Indians.

m red and black, within an ornamental woodcut border, and 
the arms of Spain above the title. Small 4to, limp vellum, 
with thong fasteners. 

[Colophon Sevilla]: Sebastia Trugillo, 1553 

THE First Epirion of the Ninth Treatise, with 80 leaves, 
the second issue having 84 leaves. At the bottom of sigs. E5 
and F6, the last two lines of each page have been reprinted 
and pasted over the original printing, a feature not mentioned 
by Field, Sabin, or other authorities consulted. There is a 
small name stamp on the title, Av has been mended, and a 
contemporary hand has scored some passages and entered notes 
on several margins. 

This is the largest of the Las Casas treatises, and was writ- 
ten to prove the sovereignty and universal dominion which the 
Kings of Castella and Leon had over the Indians. An unus- 
ually crisp copy. 


188. LAS CASAS (BARTHOLOME DE). The Spanish 
Colonie; or, Briefe Chronicle of the Acts and gestes of the 
Spaniardes in the West Indies, called the newe World. And 
now first translated into english, by M. M. 8. Small 4to, old

soiled, the following leaf slightly torn on margin, and manu- 
script notes on several margins). Title printed within wood- 
eut border by Dawson, and sig. of ‘‘F. Osb.’’ written thereon. 

Imprinted at London for William Brome, 1583 


UNKNOWN TO HERBERT, AND A BOOK WHICH IN ANY CONDI- 
TION IS EXCESSIVELY RARE. IT IS THE FIRST EDITION IN ENG- 
LISH, and is translated not from the Spanish, but from: the 
French version of Jacques de Miggrode, published first in 1579. 
In the heading of ‘‘To the Reader,’’ this name is misspelled, 
and we are informed that the book was ‘‘ faithfully translated 
by James Alligrodo, to serve as a President and warning to 
the xii Provinces of the lowe Countries.’’ The translation 
includes the whole of Tracts I and II, printed in BLAcK LETTER, 
and parts of Nos. III and IV, printed in Roman. One chapter 
of the first part of the book tells ‘‘of the Provinces of the firme 
lande, or quarter that is called Florida,’’ and of the persecu- 
tions there. 

The Barlow copy, which resold in the Ives sale and again 
in the Lefferts sale, had the last leaf, and possibly the next to 
the last leaf in facsimile. 

THE PRESENT COPY IS PERFECT, and ranks better than the 
Crane copy, which had several leaves extended in the corners.

Francofurti: Sumptibus Theodori de Bry & Ioannis Saurii 
typis 1598. 


VERY FINE Copy of the most beautiful edition of Las Casas, 
which, as Sabin points out, ‘‘is much sought for in conse- 
quence of the beauty of the first impressions of the plates.’’ 

This is the First Latin TRANSLATION of Las Casas’s 
‘¢Breuissima relacion,’’ and three others, preceded by a brief 
introduction, mainly a quotation from Lipsius, commenting 
on the Spanish atrocities. 

This is the First EDITION CONTAINING THE FAMOUS SERIES 
OF PLATES, all illustrating the cruelties practiced upon the 
Indians by the Spaniards, as related by Las Casas. They are, 
of course, imaginary, the artist never having been in America. 
The present copy is larger than is usually met with, measuring 
7% x614 inches. Three small marginal defects have been 
skilfully repaired by the binder. 


190. LAS CASAS (BARTHOLOME DE). The Tears of 
the Indians; being An Historical and true Account of the 
Cruel Massacres and Slaughters of above Twenty Millions of 
innocent People Committed by the Spaniards in the Islands 
of Hispaniola, Cuba, Jamaica, ete., As also, in the Continent 
of Mexico, Peru, & other Places of the West Indies, To the 
total destruction of those Countries. (Lacks the folding 
plate, but 4 of the compartments into which the plate is di- 
vided are laid in). 8vo, original calf (shaken). 

Lond.: Printed by J. C. for Nath. Brook, 1656 

THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF THE First ENGLISH TRANSLATION 
by J. P., ie. John Phillips, a nephew of John Milton. THE 
WORK IS RARE. 

The numbers 89-96 are omitted in the pagination, but the 
signatures are correct, and a comparison of the text with that 
of the original edition shows that this edition is complete. The 
leaf b7 has the catchword ‘‘The’’ whereas the first word on 
the following leaf (B) is ‘‘Tears.’’?’ The same is true of the 
copy collated by Hazlitt (Collections and Notes, 1887, p. 135), 
and is also true of the E. D. Church copy, which would rather 
indicate that the work is complete without this leaf. At the 
end is the rare half-title, not mentioned by Stevens in his 
‘*Nuggets,’’ nor in Hazlitt’s ‘‘ Collections and Notes.’’ With 
autograph of Henry Bradshawe on title-page.

autograph of W. Wusgrave on verso of title and on one chap- 
ter heading). Lond.: Printed in the Year 1709 


THE HEXCEEDINGLY RarRE First -EpiTion. The Journal 
occupies pp. 6-60; Description of North Carolina, pp. 61-168; 
Account of the Indians of North Carolina, pp. 169-238; Char- 
ters of North Carolina,, 239-258. At the end is the very rare 
leaf of advertisement. 

This work was issued in 1711 as a part of Stevens’s Voyages, 
and passed through several editions at later dates, the fourth 
edition, published in Dublin in 1737, being attributed on the 
title-page to John Brickel. Field gives a long note to the 
work in his bibliography, concluding with the statement: 
‘“Neither of the first three editions of Lawson’s work is often 
found complete with the map and animal plate.’’ 


192. LECHFORD (JOHN). Plain Dealing; or, Newes 
from New England. A Short View of New-Englands present 
Government, both Ecclesiasticall and Civil, compared with 
the anciently-received and established Government of Eng- 
land, in some materiall points; fit for the gravest considera- 
tion in these times. Small 4to, boards, parchment back, un- 
cut (Brit. Mus. sale stamp on verso of title, and sig. G 2 torn 
across). 

Lond.: Printed by W. E. and I. G. for Nath. Butter, 1642 


THE EXTREMELY RARE First EDITION. On page 20 is a cut- 
in note beginning: ‘‘ Whereas in England every Sunday are | 
read in publique, Chapters and Psalmes in every Church, 
besides the eleven or twelve Commandements, Epistle and Gos- 
pell, the Creed and other good formes and catechisings, ae 
The curious error in this note has been corrected, in this copy, 
by obliterating the words ‘‘eleven or twelve’’ with a pen. 

This is one of the most interesting and authentic of the 
early narratives relating to the colony, being full of valuable 
information respecting the manners and customs of the inhabi- 
tants. It was reissued in 1644 as ‘‘New England’s Advice to 
Old England.’’ On the title-page of the present copy has 
been written ‘‘ Collated § perf.’’ and other library memo. 

UNCUT COPIES ARE MOST UNUSUAL, this one measuring 8x 
64% inches. 


193. LEDERER (JOHN). The Discoveries of John 
Lederer. in Three several Marches from Virginia, To the

Sir William Talbot Baronet. Original map in fine mmpression, 
with margins intact. Small 4to, boards, calf back, uncut. 

Lond.: Printed by J. C. for Samuel Heyrick, 1672 


CoPIES OF THIS ORIGINAL EDITION, particularly in uncut con- 
dition and with the original map, are rare. In the present 
copy, Ai, containing the license, is wanting, and the leaf 
Bis split half across. 

The work contains a brief account of the North American 
Continent, the Manners and Customs of the Indians of Caro- 
lina and Virginia, details of the three expeditions, including 
the penetration to the top of the Apalatoean mountains.

Small 4to, boards, calf back, morocco corners. 

Lond.: Printed for Mercurius Britannicus. 1625 


In clean, perfect state. VERY RarE. Sabin apparently was 
unable to locate a copy. The main portion of the work is given 
up to a Discourse ‘‘ which showeth by cleare and strong Argu- 
ments how that it was both necessary and profitable for the 
United Prouinces to’ erect a West-India Company.’’

The Rare First English Translation. A fine, crisp copy, with 
the maps in perfect condition. From this work historians have 
derived much of their knowledge of the Natchez and other 
Mississippi tribes of Indians, the author having resided in | 
Louisiana fifteen years; hence his observations are considered 
of the utmost authenticity.

THE VERY RARE LATIN TRANSLATION, more valuable than the 
French original, as containing the passages suppressed in that 
edition. The folding plate mentioned above is seldom found. 
Among other things, the author gives musical notes to show the 
intonation of the Caraibs, etc. The preface contains a most 
interesting letter written to Calvin by Villegagnon, the French 
Admiral who safely conducted Mary, Queen of Scotland, to 
Brittany. The author was a Protestant minister who went to 
Brazil to establish a Colony of Huguenots, but the scheme 
failed, and he returned to France and published this book.

Londini: Imponsis Georgii Bishop, 1609 


THE First ENGLISH EpiTion. This is a translation of the 
fourth and sixth books of the first edition of Lescarbot, Paris, 
1609, although the author’s.name is nowhere mentioned in the 
translation. The translator, Peter Erondelle, or Arundell, was 
a French schoolmaster in London, who was afterwards a stock- 
holder in the Virginia Company. In his ‘‘Epistle’’ he says: 
‘‘The whole volume of the Navigations of the French-nation 
into the West Indies (comprised in three books) was brought 
to me to be translated by Mr. Richard Hakluyt, a man who 
for his worthy and profitable labours, is well known to most 
men of his worth, not onely of this kingdome, but also of 
forrain parts: and by him this part was selected and chosen 
from the whole worke, for the particular use of this Nation.’’ 

Copies occur without the date on the title, the work having 
been re-issued with a new title-page bearing the imprint of 
Andrew Hebb. THIS DATED EDITION IS CONSIDERABLY THE 
RARER, ;

of the leaves are time-stained. 

‘<This inestimable book, a treasure of all the knowledge and 
learning relating to the East and West Indies and the naviga- 
tion thither, at the end of the 16th century, has been in the 
highest esteem for nearly a century,’’ says Muller, ‘‘and was 
given to each ship sailing to India, as a log-book. Hence the 
many editions (6 in Dutch, 3 in French, 1 in Latin). This 
is also the explanation why fine copies, especially with all the 
maps and plates, are so very rare.’’ 

This English Translation is by William Philip, and is rarely 
found in good condition.

A VERY RARE Work, of which Stevens says: ‘‘The great 
historical importance of this book is not yet fully appreciated. 
Besides the first three Decades of Peter Martyr it contains a 
translation of that Author’s paper on the recently discovered 
Islands, first printed in 1521 to supply the loss of Cortes’ 
First Relation. It also contains the Bull of Pope Alexander 
(in Latin and English) dividing the world between Spain and 
Portugal; as well as translations of the most important papers 
pertaining to maritime discovery, and the new world, of 
Ziegler, Paulus Jovius, Vespucci, Maximilianus Transylvanus, 
Oviedo, Gomara, Andreas de Corsali,’’ etc., ete.

pages. Contemporary inscription on title.

London: Printed for Thomas Adams, 1612 


THE First COMPLETE EDITION oF PETER MARTYR’S 
‘* DECADES’? IN ENGLISH. Three Decades were translated by 
Richard Eden and printed in 1555. It was revised, probably 
by Eden himself, and edited and published by Richard Willes 
in 1577, after Eden’s death. This edition contained a transla- 
tion of four decades, and an abridgment of the 5th, 6th, 7th 
and 8th decades. Then in 1612, when the interest in Western 
voyages was at its height in Hngland, Michael Lok, or Lock, 
‘“by paineful Trauaile’’ translated the full number of Decades, 
the present copy. 

THIS COMPLETE EDITION IS VERY RARE, particularly in such 
fine condition as is this copy (lacking only the preliminary 
blank leaf Ai).

210. MASON (JOHN). A Briefe Discourse of the New- 
found-land, with the situation, temperature, and commodities 
thereof, inciting our Nation to goe forward in that hopefull 
plantation begunne. 7 leaves unnumbered. Small 4to, full 
ealf (title soiled). Edinburgh: Printed by Andro Hart 

THE EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION. This work was 
reprinted by the Bannatyne Club and also by the Prince 
Society; evidence of its rarity. Laing, who edited the earlier 
reprint, KNEW OF BUT THREE COPIES. Not in Lowndes, Huth, 
or Livingston. 


211. MATHER (COTTON). The Wonders of the Invisible 
World: Being an Account of the Tryals of Several Witches, 
lately Executed in New-England: And of several remarkable 
Curiosities therein Occurring. Small 4to, half olive morocco, 
gilt edges, by Riviere. 

Printed first, at Boston in New-England; and Reprinted 
at London, for John Dunton, at the Raven in the Poultry, 
1693. 


THE First LonpoN EpitTionN. With the rare half-title and 
page of Imprimatur, dated Dec. 23, 1692. A clean copy, but 
some head and lower lines cut into. 

There were three editions published in London, all bear- 
ing this same date, but this is the genuine First, and only 
complete London edition. There are several breaks in pagina- 
tion, which is due no doubt to the Boston publisher sending 
portions of the copy to two or more printers in his desire to 
have the work appear in London as speedily as possible. This 
supposition is borne out by the fact that of seven errors 
which appear in the Boston edition only two are corrected. 


212. [MATHER (COTTON).] Pietas in Patriam. The 
Life of His Excellency Sir William Phips, Knt, late Captain 
General and Governour in Chief of the Massachuset-Bay, New

quainted with him. Small 8vo, original sheep.

lating to Witchcrafts and Possessions. Small 12mo, old 
polished calf, blind tooling.

burgh by the Heirs and Successors of Andrew Anderson, 1697 


THE RARE EDINBURGH REPRINT of the Boston edition, which 
is LESS FREQUENTLY MET WITH THAN THE ORIGINAL EDITION. 

A remarkable history of the strange witchcrafts and posses- 
sions in New England. The title is torn across the centre 
and some head-lines are cut into. The last three lines on p. 100 
and pp. 101-102 are printed in smaller type than the rest of 
the book in order to get the text within the last two leaves. 


214. MATHER(COTTON). Magnalia Christi Americana: 
or, The Ecclesiastical History of New England, from Its First 
Planting in the Year 1620, unto the Year of our Lord, 1698.

Folio, original panel calf (rebacked, double sheet transposed ' 
(books 1-2), 1 leaf a little torn into, few margins stained). 

London: Printed for Thomas Parkhurst, 1702 


THE EXTREMELY SCARCE LARGE PAPER First EDIrion, of 
which few copies have appeared. Size of leaf, 14144x8% 
inches. This is the first collected edition of an American 
author, one who had rare opportunities for consulting docu- 
ments, many of which are now lost. The work is a Civil and 
Ecclesiastical history, and contains many biographical sketches 
of people eminent in early America. Has the leaf at end of 
books printed for Thomas Parkhurst. 

RosBERT SOUTHEY’S COPY, with his autograph signature on 
title and having marginal notes in his hand on several pages, 
apparently made in preparation of his article on ‘‘ Magnalia 
Christi’’ in the ‘‘Quarterly Review.’’ There are also marginal 
notes in the autograph of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, some being 
signed with initials, ‘‘S. T. C.’’? These notes by both authors 
appear in all on 16 pages, extending from a brief line to 100 
words or over in some places, and contain some very bitter 
strictures on witch hunting, and a quatrain initialled by 
Coleridge, 

““Why at Tom Maule dost fret and foam? 
Thine own book’s but a mauling Tome. 
Add to thy name an RB: for rather 
A Mauler art thou than a Mather.’’ 


215. MATHER (COTTON). Parentator. Memoirs of 
Remarkables in the Life and the Death of the Ever-Memorable

graved portrait ‘‘Crescentius Mather,’ by I Sturt. Small 
8vo, original calf (repaired, small hole on p. 3). 
Bost.: Printed by B. Green, for Nathaniel Belknap, 1724 


THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION, IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING, and 
in VERY CRISP STATE. 

Chapter xxxiv (pp. 233-239), entitled ‘‘Dead Abel, yet Speak- 
ing,’’ contains a list of Increase Mather’s works arranged by 
dates. This list contains 88 titles, ‘‘ without any mention of 
the Learned and Useful Praefaces, which the Publishers of 
many Books Obtained from him, as a Beautiful Porch unto 
them; and which Collected would make a considerable Vol- 
ume. ’’ 


216. MATHER (COTTON). Manuductio ad Ministerium: 
Directions for a Candidate of the Ministry. Wherein, First, 
a Right Foundation is laid for his Future Improvements; ete. 
Small 8vo, full brown crushed levant morocco, gilt, gilt back, 
gilt inside borders, gilt edges, by F. Bedford (wants half- 
title). Bost.: Printed for Thomas Hancock, 1726 


Fine copy of. the second issue of the First Epition. With 
the ‘‘ Advertisement’’ on page 150, which does not appear in 
the first issue, announcing the forthcoming work by the same 
author, ‘‘Ratio Disciplinae Fratrum Novanglorum.’’ Neither 
Sabin nor Evans notes this edition, and copies have seldom 
appeared. 


217. MATHER (INCREASE). A Briefe History of the 
Warr with the Indians in New England, (From June 14, 
1675, when the First Englishman was murdered by the 
Indians, to August 12, 1676 when Philip, alias Metacomet, 
the principal Author and Beginner of the Warr, was slain. 
Sn Together with a Serious Exhortation to the Inhabitants 
of that Land. Small 4to, half levant morocco (some head- 
lines cut into). 

Bost.: Printed and Sold by John Foster, 1676 


THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First EpitTion. The ‘‘Serious 
Exhortation’’ called for on the title does not occur in this 
copy. Although generally bound with the ‘‘History’’ it was 
probably an independent issue, containing separate pagination 
and signatures. 

This work is so rare that Sabin, when cataloguing the Men- 
zies Library, said that Lowndes did not mention the New Eng- 
land edition. ‘‘Perhaps no copy of it exists.’’ 

From Mr. Huntington’s Library. 


218. MATHER (INCREASE). A Brief History of the 
War with the Indians in New England. From June 24. 1675. 
(When the first Englishman was Murdered by the Indians) 
to August 12. 1676. when Philip, alias Metacomet, the prin- 
cipal Author and Beginner of the War, was slain. Small 
4to, boards, morocco back, uncut (a few top margins slightly 
wormed ). Lond.: Printed for Richard Chiswell, 1676 


Tus First Lonpon Eprtion. Very Rare. Although the 
title calls for a second part (‘‘Serious Exhortation’’), it did 


87 


not appear in this edition. The title-page of the Boston edi- 
tion was probably copied literally without reference to the 
fact that it called for another work. 

This is a history of King Philip’s War, beginning with the 
story of the murder of the first Englishman by the Indians, 
June 24, 1675, and continuing it to the death of Philip, August 
12, 1676. It was written in answer to Wharton’s New Eng- 
land’s Present Sufferings, in which the author had claimed 
that the Indian War was in retribution for the sufferings which 
the Quakers had endured at the hands of the Puritans. 

A LARGE COPY, measuring 8% x 644 inches. 


219. MATHER (INCREASE). An Historical Discourse 
Concerning the Prevalency of Prayer, Wherein is shewed that

the Indians there: From the Year 1614. to the Year 1675... 
Small 4to, unbound (contains fragment of title only; and 
blank leaf A wanting). Bost.: John Foster, 1677 . 


VERY RARE First EpiTion. This appears to be one of the 
seareest of Mather’s Tracts, apparently not having been re- © 
printed in London. In the Preface, the author speaking of 
the Hubbard Narrative says: ‘‘ Nevertheless it hath been 
thought needfull to publish this; Considering that most of the 
things here insisted on, are not so much as once taken notice 
of in that Narrative. And although the Pequot war be therein 
described .... it is not so fully done as is here to be seen.’’ 


221. MATHER (INCREASE). An Essay for the Record- 
ing of Illustrious Providences: Wherein an Account is given 
of many Remarkable and very Memorable Events which have

break in pp. 45-46, due to defective paper). 

Printed at Boston in New England, and are to be sold by

one or two corners restored, a few head-lines cut into). 

Colophon: Stampata in Venetia per Zorzo de Rufconi Mil- 


lanese. Nel. M. D. X XI. adi. xy. de Febraro. 

The Sixth Edition in Italian of this important work, which 
until recently was considered the earliest collection of voyages 
and travels. It first appeared in 1507, and, besides the six 
Italian editions, was translated into Latin, French, German and 
Low-German. 

In the present edition the letter of Vesputius commences at 
chapter 114 on the verso of n8. 

Even this sixth edition is Excessively Rare, and notwithstand- 
ing the slight defects above mentioned the present copy is a 
handsome and desirable one.

the Indians in that part of the World. 8vo, unbound (title 
soiled). Lond.: Printed for S. Birt, n. d. (1750) 

First EpItTion, and a fine copy. The work contains an ac- 
count of the adventures of the crew on an uninhabited part 
of Patagonia, where after about fifteen months they were 
seized by the Indians and carried over a thousand miles into 
the inland country. It is intended to serve as a supplement to 
Mr. Bulkeley’s Journal, Campbell’s Narrative, and Lord An- 
son’s Voyage.

Generations, By Nathaniel Morton. (Date in ink on title.) 
Ato, original calf (some leaves time-stained, and smudge on 
one page). 

Cambridge: Printed by 8. G. and M. J. for John Usher of 
Boston, 1669. 

THE ORIGINAL EDITION. OF THE UTMOST RARITY, and aside 
from the natural time-stains, AN EXCEPTIONALLY DESIRABLE, 
CRISP COPY. 

This work, which was compiled principally from the Journals 
of William Bradford and Thomas Winslow, is not only the 
first historical work issued from the Massachusetts press, BUT 
IS THE FIRST HISTORICAL BOOK PRINTED IN AMERICA. 

The Voyage of the Mayflower is given in detail, as also is 
the story of the landing and first settlement of the Pilgrims. 

The present copy is entirely perfect, containing not only the 
leaf ‘‘'To the Reader’’ with recto blank, but also the 5 leaves 
of ‘‘Chronological Table’’ at the end, which is not found in all 
copies. 

In all probability this is not only the GENUINE ORIGINAL EDI- 
TION, but the ONLY 1669 edition, as no copy of an English 
edition of this date has been seen, and as late as 1675 Richard 
Chiswell, for whom the English edition was supposed to have 
been printed, stated that the copies of the book he then had 
for sale were ‘‘printed in Cambridge in New England.’? .

(writing and label on title, a slight repair to A2, some corners 
restored, and small tears in 2 margins). 

Printed at Amsterdam by Jacob Frederick Stam, 1637 


THE First EpITIoN. A BOOK OF SUCH EXTREME RARITY that 
Frederik Muller, the eminent bookseller of Amsterdam, 
remarks ‘‘ Although this book is printed in my native place, 
Amsterdam, I have never seen or heard of it here.’’ Sabin, 
in the Menzies catalogue, says: ‘‘We know of only one other 
copy in the United States,’’ 

The work is interspersed with poems, one being by Ben 
Jonson in honor of the ‘‘Baccanall Triumphe of the Nine 
Worthies of New Canaan.’’ 

The three books treat of: The Manners and customs of the 
Natives; The Natural endowments of the Country; What 
people are planted there, their Tenents and practice of their 
Church, ete. 

The author, in consequence of his habits, hilarious conduct, 
and association with the Indians, whom he supplied with arms, 
was sent out of the colony as a prisoner. He returned after 
the appearance of this work and was imprisoned in Boston for 
a year, ostensibly on account of the libel it promulgated 
against the colonies.

the date ‘‘1676’’ had been changed in ink from ‘‘1675.’’ In 
the present copy the date has been printed in, and notwith- 
standing the repairs above mentioned, the copy is a very de- 
sirable one, measuring 10% x 6% inches. 


235. NICHOLL (JOHN). An Houre Glasse of Indian 
Newes. or, A true and tragicall discourse, shewing the most 
lamentable miseries, and distressed Calamities indured by 67 
Englishmen, which were sent for a supply to the planting in 
Guiana in the yeare 1605. Small 4to, full crimson morocco, 
oilt back, inside dentelles, gilt edges, by F. Bedford. 

London: Printed for Nathaniel Butter, 1607 


_ THE EXCESSIVELY RARE FIRST EDITION, printed in BLACK 
LeTTer. Lacks the half title, but contains the original blank 
leaf, F3. The known copies are those in the British Museum, 
Grenville Library, Huth, Church, John Carter Brown, and the 
present one. 

The author started with a band consisting of 67 Englishmen 
to establish a colony in Guiana in 1605; was wrecked, rescued 
by Spaniards, and imprisoned as a spy; and finally reached 
England in 1607, where he published this sad account of his 
adventures and the sufferings of his companions. 

THIS COPY IS IN REMARKABLY FINE CRISP CONDITION.

236. NODAL (BARTOLOME GARCIA DE anp GON- 
CALO DE). Relacion del viaje que por orden de sv Magd y

partments, with portraits, m brilliant state, and a very fine 
impression of the original folding map, both engraved by 
I. de Courbas. Small 4to, full brown straight-grain morocco, 
gilt back, covers ornamented with blind and gilt interlaced 
geometrical lines, broad and rich inside borders, gilt edges, by 
Lewis. Madrid: Por Fernando Correa de Montenegro, 1621 


A SUPERB COPY OF THE EXTREMELY RARE HARLIEST EDITION, 
WITH THE MAP IN MOST DESIRABLE CONDITION. The map is 
particularly valuable, as it is supposed to have been suppressed. 

The work gives an account of the Spanish expedition sent 


93 


out by order of Philip III., immediately after the return of 
Schouten’s expedition, for the exploration of the Magellan 
Straits. The brothers Nodal sailed from Lisbon Sept. 27, 1618, 
and did not return until July 9th of the following year. They 
had with them two Dutch pilots, Jan de Witte, named in the 
narrative, and Valentine Janusz, who wrote another account of 
the same voyage. They had both been with Schouten on his 
voyage. The Strait Le Maire was rechristened S. Vincent, 
which name it retained for some time on Spanish maps. 

As in the Church copy, the present one is without the blank 
leaf between the end of the narrative and the ‘‘ Tabla Para 
Saber,’’ and also lacks the final blank leaf. 


237. ..NOORT (OLIVIER VAN). Nevwe Schiffart War- 
hafftige vnd eygentliche Beschreibvng der langwirigen sorg-

plates (corner margin of one plate torn away and some plate 
margins reinforced). Small 4to, new boards (margin of A,4 
mended, and some time-stains). 

Gedruckt zu Franckfurt durch Matthaeum Becket, 1602 

This edition is an abridgment from the Dutch, and the trans- 

lator announces that he gives only an extract in which will be 

found the principal events. De Bry probably made use of this 

translation in his Great Voyages, Part IX. The work is written 

‘in the form of a journal, and with the exactness of detail that 
would naturally be looked for in a navigator’s log. 

THE WORK IS EVIDENTLY ONE OF EXTREME RARITY, as the 
Church Catalogue mentions but one other copy, that in the 
John Carter Brown Library, which copy is also the only one 
mentioned by Sabin. :

same Church. Small 4to, boards, leather back. 

Lond.: Printed by Tho. Newcomb for Lodowick Lloyd, 1658 

Extremely scaree. Not in Church. The last five pages con- 
tain a catalogue of books printed for L. Lloyd, including sev- 
eral works by New England divines. An edition of this ap- 


peared in 1657 with the title ‘‘Life and Death of Mr. John 
Cotton.’’ Autograph of Robert Moore on title. 


239. OGILBY (JOHN). Africa, being an Accurate De- 
scription of the Regions of Aegypt, Barbary, Lybia, &c.;

the most Authentick Authors. Hach volume with a profusion 
of fine copper-plates, folding maps, views of American cities, 
Gc. 2 vols. large folio, original calf. Lond. 1670-71 

The volume ‘‘America’’ is really a plagiarism from Mon- 


tanus. It has earned for Ogilby the title of the English De 
Bry. The volume contains many very fine portraits and views.

imprints, and of the utmost importance in any condition. This 
copy contains the rare leaf of ‘‘ Advertisement’’ at the end. 
Size 6144 x3 15/16 inches, a trifle larger than the Church copy. 

The author, who at the time of his death was Chief Justice 
of the Province of New Hampshire, was esteemed the highest 
authority on the Indian wars of that period.

Lond.: Printed by Wiliam Stansby for Henri Fetherstone, 
1625-1626. 


THIS IS ONE OF THE FULLEST AND MOST IMPORTANT COILLEC- 
TIONS OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. A 
part of the third and all of the fourth volumes are DEVOTED TO 
VOYAGES TO AMERICA. In this copy Volumes 2, 3, and 5 are 
identical with Sabin’s collation. Volume 1 contains at page 65 
the UNCANCELLED map, ‘‘ Designatio Orbis Terrarum’’ and NoT 
the map on two hemispheres usually substituted for it. The 

i engraved title-page is dated 1625, and is extended on the inner 

. margin. This copy lacks the blank leaf (R4) toward the end 
of the first book, and No slips are pasted over the head-lines of 
pp. 320, 359, etc., as mentioned by Sabin. 

Captain John Smith’s map of Virginia in volume 4, is slightly 
cut into on the top and side, and has the page numbers 1692 
and 1693 in the upper corners. It is in its fifth state. 

Volume 5, a supplementary volume, consists of the fourth 
and best edition of his ‘‘ Pilgrimage,’’ of which the eighth and 
ninth books (pp. 791-967) relate to America. The present copy 
of this volume appears to be the second issue. This differs 
from the earlier issue in the first six leaves, which were printed 
from a resetting of the type, and in the location of the Con- 
tents and list of ‘‘ Maps and Peeces cut in Brasse.’’ It lacks 
the first blank leaf. 

Purchas from 1613 to 1617 issued four editions of his ‘‘ Pil- 
grimage, or Accounts of the Religious World.’’ The present 
is an entirely different work. In this is contained the sub- 
stance of over 1,200 separate narrators of the world’s explora- 
tions, telling their stories in their own language. Many of 
these men had been to the New World. It contains much ma- 
terial that had not been printed previously.

Magellan.

There were three issues of this work, all published in 1596.

line 14, page 21, reads ‘‘ Nueuo reygno de Granada’’; the other

BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THE VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATE- 
MENT of the circumstances attending Raleigh’s death. It was

conduct in putting Raleigh to death. This copy has the leaf 
with signature mark only preceding title, and the colophon on

terial, is a variation from other editions noted. Collation:

THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First EDITION OF CAPTAIN SMITH’S 
First Book. This copy has the fourth title as described in the 
Church catalogue, with the author’s name ‘‘Captaine Smith 
Coronello’’ on title, and the two inserted leaves addressed ‘‘ To 
the Courteous Reader.’’ The ‘‘Relation’’ tells of the hanging 

of Capt. Kendall for plotting against the colony, and also of 


the capture and ultimate liberation of Captain Smith by the 
Indians. 

Very few copies of this pamphlet, perhaps not more than two, 
have appeared in the auction rooms. This copy was originally 
in the British Museum and bears their duplicate stamp on verso 
of title. It apparently was sold before the variations in title 
were noted, as the copy now in the British Museum bears the 
name of T. Watson as author.

Lond.: Printed by I. D. and I. H. for Michael Sparkes, 1624 


First Eprtron. Owing to the various states of the title- 
pages, plates, portraits, and maps, few copies are alike. This 
copy, as far as text and the title-page are concerned, collates 
accurately with the First Edition in the Church collection. All 
copies seemingly lack pp. 97-104 (signature O), which has been 
proved by Henry Stevens never to have been printed. The 
present copy does not contain the folding map of Virginia.

attempt to unite the whole of New England under one govern- 
ment, as resolved by James II in 1686, for which endeavor 
Andros was appointed Governor of the same, and subsequently, 
in 1688, of New York. In consequence of his arbitrary pro- 
ceedings his administration became very unpopular, and in 
April, 1689, the inhabitants of Boston rose in insurrection, im- 
prisoned Andros, and restored Bradstreet, the former Governor. 
In the following July Andros was recalled to England.

THE VERY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION, in immaculate condition, 
and with autograph of Alex. Kidd on title. Rich says: ‘‘it 
places the conduct of General Oglethorpe in a very different 
light from that in which it has been generally represented.’’ 
The writers attribute ‘‘the ruin and desolation of the Colony’’ 
to the misrepresentations and mal-administration of Gov. Ogle- 
thorpe. 

The volume is of typographical as well as historical impor- 
tance as a very early production from this Southern press. The 
printer, Peter Timothy, was the son of Lewis, and began busi- 
ness on his own account in 1740. Books with a Charleston im-

Hacket, [1568]. 

FINE COPY OF THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST AND ONLY ENGLISH 
EDITION, and which, according to Sotheby’s catalogue, is the 
FIRST BOOK IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE RELATING TO CANADA. 

The subject of this work is South America, but it also dwells 
upon the general discoveries in the Northern Continent, devot- 
ing eight chapters to Canada. It is not only rare (there being 
few libraries which can boast of possessing the English trans- 
lation), but is also a most entertaining book full of extraordi- 
nary stories which the author gathered from the people during 
his stay in Rio de Janeiro. This is one cause of. its great 
rarity, as it entered into the class of popular books, which were 
eagerly read, copies being in consequence liable to injury and 
destruction. To Thomas Hacket, the publisher, is also attrib- 


uted the translation.

282. THOROWGOOD (THOMAS). Jews in America, or, 
Probabilities, that those Indians are Judaical, made more

touching their Organization, and his Vindication of the 
Planters. Small 4to, boards, crimson morocco back (24 pre- 
liminary leaves including title and leaf with ‘‘Jewes in 
America’’ printed vertically across the page, being otherwise 
blank; Eliot’s Treatise, A-D 2 in fours; ‘‘A Short Discourse 
concerning the New World or America,’’? A-I 2 in fours). 
(The page numbers of two leaves are cut into, a few margins 
stained). Lond.: Printed for Henry Brome, 1660 


First Epition. This is not a second edition of the first 
part, printed in 1650, but is a new work, in which the author 
answers L’Estrange’s ‘‘Americans no Jewes,’’ Lond. 1652. 
To his own work he appends an essay by John Eliot, the Apostle 
to the Indians, who believed that the Indians were the descend- 
ants of the lost tribe of Israel. 

The author was a friend and correspondent of John Eliot, 
and was a very efficient promoter of missionary effort among 
the Indians. 


283. TONTI (CHEVALIER H. DE). An Account of 
Monsieur de la Salle’s Last Expedition and Discoveries in

Lond.: Printed for Nathaniel Butter, Nicholas Bourne, 
and William Sheffard, 1623. 

A WORK OF SUCH EXTREME RARITY THAT NO OTHER COULD BE 
LOCATED at the time the Church catalogue was compiled, and 
aside from the present copy, we can find no description of any 
other (save that in the British Museum). 

On the 22d of August, 1622, the whole fleet of ‘Terra~ Firma 
assembled in the port of Havana. On Sunday, the 4th of Sep- 
tember, they weighed anchor and sailed. There were 28 ships 
with their Admiral; eight galleons, three pinnaces, and other 
attendants upon the fleet, with their consorts. A tempest arose

THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION, ;

had with the Indians resulted in the Pequot War, in 1637, in 
which that tribe was overthrown by Captain Underhill, who

and led the storming of the fort. He prefaces his account 
with a description of the country and of the origin of the 
troubles with the Pequots.

Lond.: Printed by J. D. & R. I. for Stephen Bowtell, 1647 


THE VERY RARE First EDITION, of which at least four edi- 
tions (Stevens says five) were published in 1647. The author, 
Rev. Nathaniel Ward, on coming to this country went to 
Agawam, now Ipswich, Mass., where he was for two years the 
colleague of the Rev. Thomas Parker. He continued to reside 
at Agawam for a time, during which he compiled the first 
code of laws established in New England, the ‘‘ Body of 

- Liberties” for the Massachusetts Colony. 
Early in 1645 Ward began writing ‘‘ The Simple Cobbler of 


Agawam,” a prose satire of the times, which instantly became 
popular and will always associate his name with early American 
Literature. 


292. [WARD (NATHANIEL).] The Simple Cobler of

Fourth Edition with some Amendments. Small 4to, boards,

Lond.: Printed for Ralph Smith, 1644 


EXTREMELY RARE. The title-page, being larger than the 
letter-press of the book, has, as usual, been clipped by the 
binder on the fore-edge and the bottom, affecting also some 
leaves of the text. This is the third, edition of the book, in 
which the errors in pagination found in the First Edition have 
been corrected. 

Welde arrived in Boston in 1632, and was immediately or- 
dained a minister of Roxbury. He was associated with John 
ce and Richard Mather in the preparation of the Bay Psalm 

ook.

Miller arms on the sides, gilt inside borders, gilt edges, by 
Bedford (one or two head-lines trimmed close). 
Lond.: By Felix Kynston, for William Barret. 1620 
A FINE COPY OF THE RARE FIRST EDITION. An interesting 
point occurs in this which does not seem to have been noted, 
or perhaps does not occur in other well-known copies. There 
is an error in the printing of signature D. It seems to be one 
of those accidents which may be discovered after the first two 
or three impressions have come from the press and then recti- 
fied. The sheet D when it was put into the press to receive the 
verso impressi6n was laid down in the wrong way, thus 
making page 6 the verso of page 1, etc., each leaf receiving the 
impression of the wrong page on its reverse, and upon folding 
the sheet in fours the error appears. It would seem, therefore, 
that this was one of the first copies from the press. 
This work was written by the ‘‘ Father of New-found-land,”’ 
and bears the same relation to that colony as the works of 
Champlain to New France.

Lond.: Printed by T. R. and E. M. for John Bartlet, 1651 

THE EXCESSIVELY RARE First EDITION. This is the FIRST 
ISSUE, with the word ‘‘ Church” spelled ‘‘Chuch” on the 

- title-page. 

In the Lenox Library are two copies, one of which is 
identical with this copy, except that it lacks the leaf preceding 
the title; the other, containing a variation in the title, ‘‘ Pub- 
lished by Henry Whitfield,” etc., being in 6 lines instead of 3 
as in the present copy. 

In both of these copies, however, the word ‘‘ Lordships” in 
the line ‘‘ Your Lordships Brother and fellow labourer for the 
good of the poor Indians,” on p. 18, has been cancelled with a 
stamp, as has also been done in this copy. 

The top margins are closely trimmed, and the side notes on 
a few pages slightly cut into, and final blank leaf is wanting.

THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION, with an extra leaf 
inserted after B4, ‘‘To the worthy Gentlemen, Adventurers 
and Planters in Virginia.” This leaf was printed separately 
for insertion in the second edition. Leaf cis wrongly marked 
c3, page 26 is wrongly numbered 34, 27 is 35, 30 is 39, 31 is 38. 
These points are all necessary to identify the genuine first 


edition. British Museum duplicate, with the stamp on the 
back of the title, dated 1787. 


301. WILLIAMS (EDWARD) [anp JOHN FARRER]. 
Virgo Triumphans: or, Virginia in Generall, but the South

rule. Small 4to, full old calf, gilt, with a coronetted mono-

and a few inner margins slightly wormed, affecting very 
lightly some words of text). 

Imprint in 4 lines. London: Printed by Thomas Harper, 
for John Stephenson, ete., 1650. 


THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION, AND OF AN ISSUE DIFFERENT 
FROM ANY OF THE REPORTED COPIES, or those that we have been 
able to compare it with. The title is as described above, con- 
taining TWO LESS LINES than other reported copies; the vignette 
of two deer is replaced with an ornamental rule; the IMPRINT 


115 


IS IN 4 LINES instead of 3, with ‘‘ London” on a SEPARATE LINE, 
in @ DIFFERENT TYPE, and the NAMES OF HARPER AND STEPHEN- 
SON IN CAPS, instead of italics. 

The necessary points in errors of pagination in the First Edi- 
tion are present in this copy, which collates as follows: Title, 
one leaf; B, 4 leaves; c 38-4; C-Hin fours. The Table (Sig. I is 
wanting). 

Quaritch mentions a copy as ‘‘the earliest issue with only 
the Title and ‘To the Reader’ as preliminary leaves.” This 
was Farrer’s own Copy, and may have been a rough copy pre- 
pared for him before the actual completion of the work as 
offered for sale. 

Evidently both the title and preliminary matter underwent 
changes at least once, with an entire re-setting of the Title-page.

Lond.: Printed for Hannah Allen in Popes-head- Alley, 
1649, 

THE FIRST EDITION of Eliot’s Indian Tract, No. 4, and or 
EXTREME RARITY. 

This is one of the most interesting of the Tracts on the In- 
dians of New England. The letters from Eliot, the apostle of 
the Indians, are of the greatest interest and convey numerous 
questions asked of him by the natives in their progress towards 
Christianity. 

A few head lines have been cut into, otherwise a very good 
copy, with the original errors in pagination; page 17 being 
numbered 24, and p. 24 being numbered 17.

THIS IS THE VERY RARE ORIGINAL FAREWELL ADDRESS of 
Gov. Winthrop and bis Company and is not noted by Winsor.

time was the only copy known in America, until one was ac- 
quired by the John Carter Brown Library in Providence a few 
years ago, 

The signatories to the Manifesto, which is dated ‘‘ From 
Yarmouth abbord the Arbella, April 7, 1680” are: Io: Win- 
thrope Gov., Rich, Saltonstall; Tho. Dudley; William Cod-

AN EXCESSIVELY RARE BOOK. This is the Second Edition of 
the First detailed acccount of Massachusetts, and gives a topo- 
graphical account of the Massachusetts Colony as far as it then 
extended, and also a full description of its fauna and flora.

ings, diet, natures, customes, lawes, mariages, worships, con- 


117 


jurations, warres, games, huntings, fishings, sports, language, 
death, and burials.” 

An Indian vocabulary of five pages is placed at the end, and 
takes precedence of the linguistic labors of Roger Williams, 
John Eliot, and others. It is possible that the author may have 
had the co-operation of both Williams and Eliot, who came to 
New England in 1681. 

The map, which is dated in each edition to correspond with 
its imprint, is more correct and fuller in its details than any 
previous one. 


At the heading of chapter IIII. is the signature of Sir John 


Rawdon, and on the margin of the same page is written 
se Bg 6

rate’s ‘‘ Historia del Descubrimiento y Conquista del Peru.”

assassination of the former.
